One of the most enduring urban legends in nature has to do with the distinctive "cock-a-doodle-doo" of a barnyard rooster. Popular belief has it that male chickens crow only in the early morning, ostensibly to wake up farmers and other early risers. A number of readers -- denizens of the city, no doubt -- probably think that this yarn actually holds some validity. Submitted 29 Aug, 2007, edited 29 Aug, 2007. 190 hits out  Details

The inside of the chicken coop normally consists of several nesting boxes just large enough for the chickens to sit in while laying their eggs, as well as perches for the chickens to use while sleeping. Often the floor of the chicken coop is covered with a material, such as straw or wood chips, to contain the chicken waste, and to allow easier cleanup of the chicken coop. Sometimes the chicken coop contains feeding and watering devices for the chickens, but these may also be kept outside of the chicken coop.
